Applying for an Education (ED) visa in Thailand can seem easy. But many people make small mistakes that cause big problems. If you want to stay in Thailand long-term, it’s important to follow the rules carefully. Here are some common mistakes to avoid when applying for an ED visa.
📍
Not Applying Early Enough
Some students wait too long to apply. If your tourist visa is almost finished, you might not have enough time. It’s better to start the process at least 3–4 weeks before your visa ends. We help with the full visa process, including the timeline.
📍
Using a School That Doesn’t Help You
Some schools don’t guide students at all. They just take your documents and leave you to figure things out. Make sure the school explains the steps and helps you with immigration paperwork.
📍
Incorrect or Missing Documents
A small mistake in your application can cause a delay or rejection. For example, your passport copy must be signed. Your photo must be the correct size. We check every paper before you go to immigration.
📍
Not Following Immigration Rules
After you get your ED visa, you still need to follow Thai immigration rules. You must report every 90 days and attend class. If you miss reports or skip school, your visa can be canceled.
✅ Learning Thai helps with daily life, and it’s also a legal way to stay longer in Thailand. ED visas are one of the easiest ways to stay in Thailand long-term—if you do it right.
